importing v2 account into v3, how to get old nested folders?

i created a new account with the version 2 name, and then copied the old Inbox folder into the new version3 directory ... then booted up Bat! 3 ... and this got me all the main inbox messages, but not all the folders that were nested inside it.

Hmmm. Interesting variation. And not one that would normally work. Are you in any kind of position to start over?

If the account directory still exists as a copy under v2, here's what you should do:

1) Delete the new version under v3.
2) Exit The Bat!
3) Copy the entire account folder into the v3 mail area
4) Start up The Bat!
5) Create the account with the same name in the same location.

This time, The Bat! will see the existing folders, say so and ask if it should use them. Say yes and all will be assimilated.

Thanks Marck, that worked perfectly!

i have one mysterious extra folder though that is staying empty:

'Inbox - Known'

presumably i can delete it with no ill-effect?

Yes, you can delete that, however you should disable the <known> filter first, otherwise it'll be re-created.
